That is the rate I was quoted from both Chase and Wells Fargo through Pre-approval for a $250,000 loan. FHA rate was 3.75%

My median credit score they used was 800. I know this is a good score, which is why I was expecting a lower rate.

I am considering more shopping around, but wanted some input from others on the 4.125%.

Unless rates have gone up over the last few months, I think you can do better.

Depends on income and how much debt he currently has.

oh ok. I thought that income and debt were used only to decide the total amount that they were comfortable loaning to me. I didn't realize that more than just your credit history determined the interest rate.

You can bet better than that.

Here is where rates are for today, it can change daily. Note, most rates has a cost or credit associated with them. todays rates

Bingo.

I imagine this guy is spreading himself a little too thin and the models are putting him at a higher likelihood of default.

With interest rates as low as they are now, people should just get a 15 year mortgage on the house that they could have afforded a 30 year mortgae on if interest rates were 6.5-7.0% and be happy, IMO.

I think 30 year mortgages are almost always a sign of someone spreading themselves too thin.
